This has got to be the final straw, right? Curt Schilling, ESPN’s baseball analyst who has been in trouble multiple times for his social media posts and comments, has once again stepped in it. Indeed, this may be his worst one yet.

It was a meme he shared on Facebook and under which he commented dealing with the issue of access to public facilities for transgender people and it contains a disgusting caricature of what, apparently, Schilling believes to be a transgender person. I won’t reproduce the meme he shared here, but you can see it if you’d like at OutSports, which brought this to the public’s attention. They also pass along his comments, which I presume he’ll soon delete. Schilling:

“A man is a man no matter what they call themselves. I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis , women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic”

While many may feel that way, such sentiments are wholly ignorant of transgender people and their nature (note: they are people who just have to go to the bathroom sometimes like everyone else) and perpetuates stereotypes of a much-maligned class of people. There is an entire b.s. perpetuation machine backing these sorts of sentiments, by the way, smearing transgender people as deviants or threats when, in fact, there are no documented cases of people exploiting transgender non-discrimination laws to commit crimes. Of course, given Schilling’s track record, it is not necessarily surprising that he’s willing to buy into false claims and hyperbole which support his general disposition.

But even if you step away from the substance, it’s undeniable that public access for transgender people is a highly controversial issue at the moment, with North Carolina passing a restrictive law in this regard which has led to boycotts of the state by performing artists and travel restrictions for public officials who would visit North Carolina in their official capacity. Likewise, the NBA is currently considering taking next year’s All-Star Game out of Charlotte. No matter which side of this matter a person may fall, it’s highly doubtful that ESPN wants one of its top commenters wading into it at the moment, at least in as crass a manner as Schilling did.

Of course, Schilling has skated in the past and still makes seven figures talking about baseball for ESPN. One wonders if this will finally cause them to fire him or if he’ll continue to be teflon.

File this for now under “allegations by a few people,” but the allegations are enough to get ESPN officials to review game audio from last night’s Cubs-Cardinals matchup. The allegation: that fans in Busch Stadium could be heard taunting Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward with racial slurs.

It’s indisputable that many in the crowd booed Heyward, who was making his first trip back to St. Louis since leaving the Cardinals via free agency this past offseason. For what it’s worth, Heyward didn’t complain about it at all, let alone mention anything particularly untoward about the booing. Rather, Heyward just brushed it off by saying that it just shows the fans missed him and, in that sense, it was almost a compliment if you look at it just so.

Whether it was just run-of-the-mill greetings to an ex-local player or something more remains to be seen.

The Braves stock will be traded under three different symbols: BATRA (Series A stock), BATRB (Series B) and BATRK (Series C). The Series A and C shares will trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and the Series B shares on the over the counter market.

I have no idea what the price point will be at first, but even if it’s a penny stock, you can invest more in the Braves this year than the actual owners have.
